Command & Conquer: Generals is set in the near future, where 2 superpowers dominate the world, the USA and China. Each of these is beset by a borderless terrorist faction known as the Global Liberation Army (GLA). In this game each faction has its own story and missions to play where you get to decide the fate of the world by completing each factions missions.

There are special veteran ranks for units that make them tougher and you can earn “General Abilities” which have a huge impact on the game, to your benefit. Play co-op or against your friends and enjoy all the brilliant gameplay you know from this much loved series.
Meeple Station
Meeple Station is a space-themed, sandbox simulation game that focuses a lot on exploration, trading and team management. In this game, you’ll need to build your starter space station and then venture out into the galaxy to find a place to set up shop, so to speak. Mine nearby resources and refine them into valuable bars and other alloys, and trade the resources you have with passing spaceships for resources that you don’t. Don’t forget to assign your meeples with tasks that suit their respective personalities, and give them everything they need to be content despite being cooped up in a tightly-packed space station.The game doesn't have a multiplayer mode (yet), but I can see the potential of having the game mode added in the future where players will be able to trade with each other and even raid other player’s stations to plunder resources. It’ll probably be somewhat similar to Minecraft’s multiplayer mode.
Overall, Meeple Station is definitely an early access game with plenty of potential. Despite the bugs and game issues, it is a rather fun sandbox game to play where you can build your own space station, explore the galaxy, mine and trade for resources, and manage your team of adorable meeples. If you’re interested, Meeple Station is currently available for purchase on Steam. Check it out!
